I am disturbed about how badly this was handled. How could they not have understood how disturbing it would have been, especially when it happened so suddenly? What does this say about how much attention the folks involved are paying to developers and users at large? How open is this open-source project, and how much is hidden? If the replacement plan was not ready yet, why the rush to remove the charts? If there was an issue to solve, why was not that raised in a place in which the current discussions could have happened before the removal? Can we trust that decisions will include public input in the future, or should we prepare for more sudden actions based on private discussions?
